What orbits the nucleus of an atom?

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They are very small, in fact they are 1/2000 of an amu. Electrons are negative while the inside of an atom includes the positive protons and neutral neutrons. :D

Electrons. They are found in the orbitals outside the nucleus.

An unknown gas Q requires 2.67 times as long to effuse under the same conditions as the same amount of nitrogen gas. What is the
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is 199.66 grams per mole.

Explanation:

Based on law of effusion given by Graham, a gas rate of effusion is contrariwise proportionate to the square root of molecular mass, that is, rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of mass. Therefore,  

R1/R2 = √ M2/√ M1

Here rate is the rate of effusion of the gas expressed in terms of number of mole per uni time or volume, and M is the molecular mass of the gas.  

Rate Q/Rate N2 = √M of N2/ √M of Q

The molecular mass of N2 or nitrogen gas is 28 grams per mole and M of Q is molecular mass of Q and based on the question Q needs 2.67 times more to effuse in comparison to nitrogen gas, therefore, rate of Q = rate of N2/2.67

Now putting the values we get,  

rate of N2/2.67/rate of N2 = √28/ √M of Q

√M of Q = √ 28 × 2.67

M of Q = (√ 28 × 2.67)²

M of Q = 199.66 grams per mole

How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

Explanation:

Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,

15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.85m long, 0.810m wide and 0.740m deep. If it is filled to within 2.57 in from the
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.

Explanation:

Length of the water bath, L = 1.85 m

Width of the water bath, W= 0.810  m

Height of the water bath ,H= 0.740 m

Height of the water in water bath, h= 0.740 m - 2.57 inches

1 m = 39.37 inch

= 0.740 m - \frac{2.57}{39.37} m = 0.6747 m

Volume of the water in bath = L × W × h

=1.85 m\times 0.810 m\times 0.6747 m=1.011 m^3

1 m^3=1000 L

1.011 m^3=1.011\times 1000 L=1,011 L

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.

Write the formula of the coordination compound pentaamminecarbonatocobalt(III) iodide. Enclose the coordination complex in squar
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

[Co(NH3)5CO3]I3

Explanation:

The naming of coordination compounds follows certain rules specified by IUPAC. Usually, the name of the complex makes it quite easy to deduce its structure.

"Pentaamine" means that there are five NH3 ligands as shown in the structure. The ligand carbonato is CO3^2-.  It has no prefix attached to it in the IUPAC name of the complex hence there is only one carbonato ligand present(recall that the complex has a coordination number of six). I did not enclose it within parenthesis as required in the question.

Lastly the III that appeared after the metal name "cobalt" shows its oxidation state. The iodide counter ions must then be 3 in number in order to satisfy this primary valency of the metal hence the inclusion of I3 in the structure of the complex.
